The best dirty vodka martinis are built on a base of ultra-clean and smooth-as-silk super-premium vodka with the right viscosity, limited sweetness and zero burn. As for the other ingredients, make the olives Italian (castelvetrano) and the vermouth French (Noilly Prat); however, the success of this cocktail will always come down to the main spirit. These are the very best vodkas for mixing up the very best dirty martini:

Crafted from malt spirit and the “soft” waters from Siberian artesian wells and then rested for 30 days, the triple-filtered Beluga Russian Noble Vodka is crisp as winter’s day. With very little burn and thinner viscosity than some other brands, this super-smooth vodka lends itself well to the buckets of olive brine required in an extra dirty martini (and it’s certainly suburb enough to sip chilled). Another tell-tale sign of this vodka’s superiority: the lack of hangover.
